Leroyce approached an entrance to the city and saw a guard making his way towards him, quickly pulling out his ID that should let him in and out of the city. (?) He showed the guard and after a cursory glance, he let him through. He began to think as he walked down towards a spices shop, Did the guard know him somehow? He knew by experience that the guards usually checked thoroughly. His father had given him a few spices, mostly for his use, and Saffron, so he could sell whenever he needed money.
